It is a small square grey church with a red aluminium roof. This church was dedicated in May 1993. The church that stood there before was badly damaged by wind, a foundation stone for the new church was laid in 1990.
The church is designed by the Shetland architect Frank A. Robertson. It has a separate open bell turret that was built as a millenium project and finished in 2001. It houses a bell from 1867. The outside of the church is plain and simple, but the inside is covered with warm glowing Scandinavian pine.
The wheel from the Russian trawler Orel SRT4240, which was wrecked at the Point of Skaw in 1967 is on display in the kirk.
